what about growth rates of aulonocara?

[Paul]

just reading through the post about the frontosas. wondering if the same
rules apply to aulonocara? obviously I would need more vege matter for these
guys, but other than that, same rules??

and what are people's opinions of dried brine shrimp, do you think they are
just as good.

Dried brine shrimp would be fine, frozen BS even better and live the best..
I am going to presume this is an Herbivore? So not much protien in the diet
would be best.. I often feed the many varities of fish I have fresh frozen
deshelled peas. for a treat.. Water changes seem to be one of the major
compnents in the growth of fish.. Seems true from the Koi all the way to
Frontosa.. I have got a lot of growth from my fry ( at times a 1/4 inch a
week..) by maintaining frequent and consistant water changes.. Numerous
small ones ( 3 of them ) during a week period of about 10% seems to have
worked fine for myself.. Water temperature also plays a role. As stated in
the original thread I started, the higher the temps the rigourous the water
changing needs to be, the water pollutants tend to be a problem with higher
temps... M intrest was help others intrested in growth rates of thier
finned friends as well as reinforcing my own thoughts. Happy fish keeping..
